OUR VISION
The group chooses a nontrivial approach to develop novel ultrashort pulse lasers systems in simple configurations with tailored and outstanding spectral and temporal properties by shaping the generation via internal nonlinear and dispersive phenomena and exploring all avenues of available optical fibre materials and geometries. Innovative laser sources will enable investigation of the fundamental physics of nonlinear phenomena and frequency conversion to mid-infrared, therefore matching fundamental vibration bands of target molecules.
OUR RESEARCH TOPICS
Ultrafast Fibre Lasers is achieving more with our initiatives than ever before. We work on many exciting projects to help improve the lives of others, and are very proud of the progress we continue to make.

KEY PEOPLE
DR MARIA CHERNYSHEVA
Junior research group leader
Maria obtained her PhD degree in Laser Physics from Fiber Optics Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2014. She moved to Aston University, UK shortly after finishing PhD. Maria has was the recipient of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (EU Horizon2020) and Engnineering for Development Research Fellowship from Royal Academy of Engineering. From beginning of 2019 Dr. Chernysheva has been a leader of Junior Research Group “Ultrafast fibre lasers” at Leibniz-IPHT
DR OGUZHAN KARA
Marie S.-Curie Research Fellow
Oguzhan has received his PhD in Physics from Heriot Watt University, UK in 2018. Then he worked as a research associate in Ultrafast Optics Group (led by Prof. Derryck T. Reid) .His research interests include ultrashort fiber lasers, optical frequency combs, optical parametric oscillators, and midinfrared spectroscopy.
DENNIS CHRISTIAN KIRSCH
PhD student
Dennis joined IPHT in October 2019. He studied laser technology and photonics at the University of Applied Sciences Münster. He got MSc degree from the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. in 2017. Afterwards he worked as research associate at the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute.
DR ISMAEL CHIAMENTI
Visiting Research Fellow
Ismael joined our group at Leibniz-IPHT in February 2020 for one year to work on FBG inscription in special optical fibres.
